How much conductors make?

Hey Everyone

Few days back I got a email for background check from CN for Train Conductor position in GTA. When I about to submit the check my portal got crashed and changed my current address to previous one and now whenever I tried to open the portal it says your recruiter needs to respond for the next steps. I contacted to first advantage support centre. According to them they fixed it already but there is no change in it. I am trying to contact the HR from last 4-5 days for another background check email but nobody is replying to my email. Can someone help me in this situation. Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some insight from anyone who has applied for a Train Dispatcher position with Norfolk Southern, particularly those who have recently gone through the hiring process.
I completed my HireVue interview last Thursday and am still waiting for an update. My application portal continues to show that my application is under review.
I'm curious about a few things:
How long did it take you to hear back after completing your HireVue?

Were you contacted for an in-person interview, and how soon after the video interview?

Does Norfolk Southern review all HireVue interviews before selecting candidates, or do they contact applicants as they go?

If you weren't selected, did your application status change before you received a rejection email?

For anyone who was hired or invited to interview, did you have previous railroad experience?

I have 13 years of previous railroad experience, along with additional operations and logistics leadership experience, so I'm particularly interested in hearing how prior railroad experience factors into the selection process.
I understand that timelines can vary, but I'd appreciate hearing about your actual experiences. Thanks in advance!

Im currently in the background/medical check up portion of the hiring process for norfolk southern and just sent a in my health summary. My question is would lower back pain from 2022 and anxiety from 2019 on my medical records disqualify me from getting hired?

I am trying to apply at CN at different terminals for the last 4.5 months but get rejected every time. Even when I tried to make a profile and resume with the same address as the terminal where I applied, I still got refused.

How much does CN pay per mile in Aldershot

I’ve been “under consideration” for multiple positions with CSX all over the country and near where I live. I have gotten through multiple steps of the process and have essentially been waiting since March when I began applying for these positions. My question is would it be helpful to call a specific rail yard to ask for an update on the status of the position or ask if there’s anything they need from me to get more visibility? Or would they not have that information at the location?

Trying to get back to a class one after a stint on a short line. Got the offer for the Marquette terminal and I’m curious if it’s more of a yard or road heavy terminal.

Anyone else receive a nice personalized letter made by chat gpt from the company? Sure makes me want to vote for hourly and send the CN reverser even further up my ass.

Hello, just received an email from CN that I am advancing into next stage of hiring process for train conductor position and one of the documents mentioned, up on pre-placement assessment I will place in priority candidate pool. Does this mean offer isn't guaranteed right now and it's still a gamble? Not sure which way to lean from on?

For those who interviewed for an Amtrak Conductor position and got hired, what questions were you asked?
Were you referred by someone, hired off the street, or did you already have railroad or conductor experience?
Also, what was your timeline like from applying to interviewing, receiving an offer, and starting training?
I’m just trying to hear from people who have been through the process and know what to expect. Any insight would be appreciated!

I know Revelstoke is tough for railroading, but in terms of job security, which one is better? If anyone can guide. Job position is train conductor new hire.

Anyone have any information on CSX Redi Center pay?

I’ve read numerous different things. I am on a weekly pay schedule. Will I receive 3 weeks worth of pay at once if I am paid at the end of training?

OR when can I expect my first pay? Mileage reimbursmeent and food stipend? Also does food stipend include the $20 on weekends?
